Like most new features, this was an optional add-on for new cars. Many manufacturers have since made CarPlay a standard feature.<\/p>\n<p>If your car was manufactured after 2014 but lacks the add-on package for CarPlay, you may be able to retrofit it using an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) upgrade. To find out for sure, contact a service center that specializes in servicing your particular brand of car.<\/p>\n<p>Some manufacturers that have offered retrofits include Hyundai, Mazda, and Ford but not for all models.<\/p>\n<p>The upgrade may only require a software patch to unlock CarPlay, or you may be offered the option of changing the hardware to enable the functionality. The cost of the upgrade will vary depending on what needs to be done, but you should be able to get a free quote to find out before committing.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_2_Replace_Your_Cars_Head_Unit\"><\/span>Option 2: Replace Your Car\u2019s Head Unit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your car is older than 2014, your OEM doesn\u2019t offer an upgrade, or the cost of an OEM retrofit seems too much, you could also try replacing the head unit in your car. Many head units are now fully compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with additional features like compatibility with reversing cameras or object sensors often bundled in too.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest hurdle you\u2019ll have to overcome is to find a head unit that\u2019s compatible with your particular make and model. Contacting a local car audio expert is the best way to find out what your options are, but it may also be the priciest.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-795442 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pioneer_mvh-av251bt.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Pioneer MVH-AV251BT\" width=\"650\" height=\"369\" data-credittext=\"Pioneer\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Pioneer<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Your options include high-end name brands like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Pioneer-MVH-AV251BT-Multimedia-Bluetooth-SiriusXM-Ready\/dp\/B07J5MQPH7\/?tag=hotoge-20\">MVH-AC251BT from Pioneer<\/a> (around $450) or cheaper models like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/BOSS-Audio-Systems-BVCP9700A-Multimedia\/dp\/B08N5LXNY4\/?tag=hotoge-20\">BVCP9700A from BOSS<\/a>\u00a0(around $250).
